Above roughly 50mph, the steering wheel "sticks" to a centered/neutral position, and requires a light amount of force to initiate movement to the left or right. This results in degraded ability to maintain lane position, and the driver constantly fighting overcorrections. If the issue becomes worse over time, it could potentially lead to hazardous swerving or oscillation at highway speeds. The condition was first observed around 15,000 miles, and has persisted through 25,000 miles. On 14 Oct 2023, I took the vehicle into a Honda dealer for a diagnostic test drive. The dealer confirmed the resistance in steering, but stated this was due to normal operation of the Lane Keep Assist System, and turned it off. Having driven the vehicle for 18 months, I was already familiar with how LKAS felt, both on and off, and how to operate it. …
Driver assistance
When traveling straight down the road, most noticeably at interstate speeds, the car will start to drift ever so slightly in one direction. You start adding steering angle to go straight and can feel the electric steering weight ramp up like it should. Then all of a sudden it gets light and corrects back to center, however now you are traveling in the direction the steering is pointing. The feeling is like driving on an extremely windy day where the driver has to fight the steering to keep the car going straight. However this happens at random without warning. It feels like something in the rack is binding up when it gets warm.
Hello, My concern lies with the Electronic Power Steering. My car physically is all over the play when it comes to making minor adjustments to the steering. The steering goes from being quite difficult to make minor adjustments to overreacting, causing me to ping pong side to side on the highway. This issue is magnified with the use of Lane Keep Assist, which cannot keep me centered on the road. This is a major issue. My lane keep assist and blind spot system keep failing and warning me to visit a dealer.
